"Following three recent devastating earthquakes in Mexico, I am making a $100,000 donation through The Milagro Foundation to support Save the Children's relief and recovery efforts to help children and families in Mexico," the guitarist wrote.

I'm proud to make this donation through the Milagro Foundation to Save the Children which is on the ground directly responding to children's needs following the earthquakes," he continued. I encourage everyone to join me in helping our neighbors get back on their feet. Let's come together as one to make a difference in the lives of these children and their families."
